Five dollars has been received from a Pleasant vtlle member, part of It to be used for the family men.tlor.ed in th» column last Thursday that hid nothing but "leftovers." For the same family 15 has come from Mr*. Alvbrd. a Connecticut f rl< nd; $2 from Mrs S. H. N New-York City, and $1 from H»len and Katharine Plumb, of Bridgeport. Conn. M. F. E.. a loyal T. S. S. friend of \\ hlte Plains, N. V.. has sent S3 "to be used where It will give a little sunshine." GOOD SAMARITANS. Mrs. H., who has moved from New-Jersey to Btaten Island, carries Into her new home the same real for Sunshine work that has characterized her former efforts. She modestly says she only writes to let the president know that she is still doing Sunshine work, but the president knows that what ohe does is always worth hearing about. Mrs. H. adds: "The winter has been so severe there has been a lot »o Co. and I have tried to make the little within my power reach as far as possible. To one poor girl I gave a half- of coal. She lives 611 alone, and worked hard for years to support a widowed mother, who passed to the other life three years ago. Every Saturday night since she was 'eft alone I have taken her a basket of good things, enough to last for a week, and she la grateful, but not naif so happy in receiving as I am in giving. I have visited "the sick and taken them jelly and grape juice, and flowers to those who did not mcd the other things. Birthday letters have been written and magazines 'passed on.' It makes me happy to be.ong to a society that really does something for so many needy ones, and mv heart always swells with pride when I read the record of what is being done by the T. S. S. to make the world happier. Mrs. John Kelly is another active member who looks after thos« who need cheer, especially the sick and needy in her own locality. She reports that one of the recent cold days she spent in go ing about from place to place, and. after learning personally of the needs, the required sunshine was supMled " She hunted up friends who helped her, so she wns able to provide shoes, clothing. etc., for old a«<3 young, and the promise of a physician to give casts to a nurse who needs employment. PLEASED WITH GIFTS. C. R. 8.. of Vermont, writes: "Thanks for the tine— bet neck and heart were remembered; a mumer for the one. a wild rose heart for the other, freighted with all good wishes. The best that I can reply is: Who would not be a brother in the T. R. S.. with all its kindly deeds unnumbered, with its sunshine that gleams afar from this world c'en to the other? When its faithful workers are through here, they will awake to the glorious brightness of the life immortal, where ties are never sundered." A Virginia member has written of the pleasure her package of sunshine brought to her; every thing a'«a acceptable. She adc>: "I am rich In friends. If nothing else. Th* books and magazines I receive give unalloyed pleasure to us and our neighbors. These long winter evenings what should we do without the solace of good reading?" A refined woman, struggling for existence, writes: "When I opened the T. S. S. envelope and found the little valentine, with its message of hone, and folded about It the generous gift of money, I was so touched 1 sh'd team of real Joy. To tn:nk that with all the demands maue upon time and sym pathy at the office 1 should have been remembered so liberally! Already our future lcoks brighter." A heir!' S3 invalid in Pennsylvania writes that her valentine letter, with Its inclosure of 12. seemed too good to be true-, for only th? real sick poor know how muuh un extra dollar now and then means to them In the way of a few added com forts. A member living on a farm :n an pointed p!*ce writer: "Believe ire when I tell you how grateful we are for the package of clothing received by the way of the T. S. S. Surely no one can more truly appreciate such remt'mhr.inees than tiio«* ilvire in out-of-the-way places. Somehow, conditions don't seem yuite so discouraging when the sunshine en ters, in every package there are things we need so much that it almost seems aa If the T. 8. 8. must have known of the need."

ENGLISH USE OF FORK. In answer to "Subscriber" In the Exchange, under ' beading of "English Use of Fork." This has been i a subject for discussion In our family for many I years, with the conclusion that the constant chang ing of the fork from one hand to the other, as al luded to by "Subscriber." can only be the result of. bad manners, due to <i lack of proper training In chll Ihood. which is the proper time to teach the handling of the knife and fork. Again, the Ameri i can fashion (which I believe Ii going out) of sur rounding the nlaip wltn a variety of 9<uail nonde script "individual" disnes, which require a fork to b« "Jabb< a" from one to the other and then o the ' tlute sitms much easier With the right hand than with the left.

TO BE CONSECRATED TO-PAY. on this point may be helpful. It says among other thine*: If sash curtains are used. It Is usually a good plan to hang the long curtains so as to be the ••" poslte of the sash curtains; that is. if the aasn curtains hang straight loop the long curtains, and vice versa. In this way the treatment will bal ance, and a neutral effect be obtained. Bear in mind also In this connection that long curtain* hanging straight reduce the width and increase the height of the window, whiie curtain? looped or caught up with a rosette reduce the height and increase the width. Curtains reaching only to the sill, or just below It, have a tendency to shorten the window, and i; looped or draped this effect is Increased. Sash curtains, stores, panels, or any other style of glass curtains, are hune with the right side of the goods to the glass, uniens the windows are so far removed from ordinary vision that it is im possible to discern the difference. Long lace cur tains ar» ' hun? with the right side to the room where sash curtains are used, to the reverse way when hung alone, subject to the above proviso in reference to the difference being peroepiiole trom without. Lace curtains may be shirred on to the no'» -t rod by making a doub> hem at the top, the d s tance between the two stitching* Hein^ » little lea than twice the diameter »♦ 'he pole, to allow for shrinkage. Thus, for a one-inch pole, which would measure loosely three and one-eighth Inches in circumference, you would require to a!'o«v about one and seven-eighths inches between the shlrrloss making three and three-quarter inches of a pocket for the hole to pass through. "Lace curtains harelng straight should Just clear the floor, and to adjust this to a nicety we have found It a rood plan to pin them so as to clear the floor by about two inches (not more), and then gently ftreich them down this distance. "To stretch them, place an outspread hind on each side of the curtain, and. pressing the two palms together, stretch centlv. a little at a time. working across the curtain from one side to me other until it is the required lensth. This must be done very carefully, and If the curtain is not found pliable enough to stretch the req'Jlrrd distance, pin It over qeain. allowing it to be longer. "Curtatra having a distinct pattern are usually pleated without any pleats in the border, the ful ness belnp all taken up by pleats In the body of the curtain, and where fabric overcurtaina an used the overcurtain should not be permitted to cover the border of the lace curtain. "Overcurtalns are always better on a separate polr. but may be attached to the same pole as the lace curtain* by using extra rings for them "Overcurtains may be used at the discretion ot the decorator In almost any room, and are p;irti^i larly effective in laree rooms. They may harm straight or loop bark, havms the same effect on the apparent size of the window as already ex plained. They should be long enough Just to clear the floor, whether straight or looped back, and should cover th»» back eder of the lace curtain. "When gathered back the lace cur; - and over curtain should be looped back separately, the ovcr curtain drawn hack far enough to show a good border of lace down the front edse and across trie bottom. "Narrow windows In lnrpe rooms may be made to appear wider by making the do!p? or cornice pro ject at each side and pleating the curtain to cover part of the wall at each side. The role or cornice should be placed high erioush in th.'s case to en tirely conceal the top of the wood trim, but in cases where It Is advisable to show the wood trim at t'.ir top it should be shown also .11 thf> outside "Soft curtains finished with a full ru?n> usually Icok Vs-t looped bnck. or. If faster ed with a rosette, the edge drn*r up near the rosette to give a ful' sweep to the rufll* "Frilled curtains are more particularly suitable for bedrooms, sowing and stttinc rooms, but. Witt proper surroundings, may be applied to some of thi ' heavier downstairs rooms in the summer season •■Frilled curtains iT,:!<ie up as >;n?ri '-urtair.s art ' also very effective next to the plafs but -h uTd '■ ■< I made of very soft material that will drape vastly Imd gracefully. 3asn curtains, la 1 " curt* or ' overcurtalr* should he pleated to the exact width iof the -pace they are to cover, sufficient Ins be ! ing ti c »>d to d'spn<»f» of all the fulness and hold the ! top edge of the curtain from sapclrg b« twr.-n the 1 pins. This may seem a small thins, but to those ; accustomed to ncstre^s the sloppy droop of the ; top e<lce of a curtain from pin to pin i« extieme'y ' distasteful «nd would spoil an otherwise neat ar | rant-erne nt. "In hanging lace curtains having a prominent ! pattern it does not always fnl'ow thai the same I distance turned down at the top of each one will ' bring the patterns in line, and It is well to Miread ■ them In pairs side by side and match the pattern 1 so that when hung the pattern vi II be perfectly : i.rue and not zigzag all trio way up tne two nuu die edges" THE THIBUNE PATTERN.
